This original, one-of-a-kind, mid-century master silkscreen strike off, crafted by Vera Neumann in collaboration with designers and artists such as Perry Ellis and Walter Erhard, embodies a narrative-rich artwork. It transcends the traditional role of art as a mere wall decoration, serving as a foundational element for fashion designs, sportswear, housewares, and a plethora of other remarkable creations throughout Vera's illustrious career. Many of these strike offs bear the marks of Vera and her colleagues, evidencing the meticulous process of refining color and design. This piece poignantly narrates the journey of Vera's original artwork, from sketch to painting, from conceptual design to strike off, and finally to manufacturing. It stands as a testament to a bygone era in the fashion and design industry, preserving a historical technique that is nearly lost in contemporary practices.
This striking strike off is a vibrant tessellation of orange and pink motifs against a rich purple background, creating a hypnotic, floral-inspired pattern. The repeated design features a central circle flanked by petal-like forms, with smaller blue and white accents that add complexity and depth to the composition. The lively colors and rhythmic repetition create a sense of energy and movement, inviting the viewer’s eye to travel across the canvas. A bold pink border neatly contains the effervescent pattern, making it a lively and cheerful addition to any interior space that needs a burst of color and playful sophistication.
